If there is one thing you need to know about PROCRASTINATION, it’s that you always have something planned for tomorrow!
Dr. Piers Steel, Professor at the University of Calgary, says that procrastinators have less confidence in themselves that they can actually COMPLETE a task. Some of the mindsets are:
- Task Aversion
- Impulsiveness
- Distractibility
- Lack of Motivation to Achieve
Based upon his studies (by the way it took HIM 10 years to complete them), it’s estimated that 15 to 20 percent of the general public are procrastinators. Sticking to a diet. Checking our emails 10 times before (or during) a project. Failed New Year’s Resolutions.
